First edition paperback original, a Near Fine+
copy with ones slight crease to top front corner, and touch of edgewear at heel
and bottom rear cover, otherwise a nice, tight, square copy. Second novel based
on the Gabriel Knight video game series, and by far the hardest to find.

First paperback edition, a Near Fine- copy with 1" crease across bottom rear cover corner across barcode, invisible spine creasing, slight spine leans, two dogeared pages (169-172) and a trace of edgewear. Hewett, The Work of Jack Vance A63.b.

Ace, 2000. Hardback. Fine/Fine. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in Fine dj, new and unread. Post apocalyptic slipstream fantasy novel set in the same universe as Resurrection Man and The Night Watch, an alternate future where magic started to leak into reality during World War II, finally resulting in the Dream of 2004, an apocalyptic event where it finally overwhelmed the technological world. Galveston follows the survivors as they try to eke out a meager existence on that island, which is divided between the remaining shards of the real world and an endless Mardi Gras carnival. Recommended.

First U.S. hardback edition, a Near Fine+ copy with slight bumping at head and slight flash to the top corner of the rear free endpaper, which has lead to a 1/8" tear there and associated wrinkling, in a Near Fine dust jacket with a slight, non-breaking crease to the top half of spine (as though the book were read once), slight wrinkling at head, a few touches of edgewear (most noticeable at top rear join), and one pin-head sized spot of of wear to the reflective silver cover at the bottom of edge of the front cover. Not a perfect copy, but still a very nice one. First book in the enormously popular, multi-award winning fantasy series.

First edition hardback, #133 of 260 copies, a Fine copy in a Fine dust
jacket. Long out of print in this edition.

First edition hardback, a Fine- copy with a pinhead-sized spot off extremely faint discoloration to page block edges (easy to miss), in a Near Fine+ dust jacket with one faint 1/2" scratch at heel, and edgewear at head and heel. Inscribed by Dozois: "For Fred/best,/Gardner Dozois." Gardner was a frequent guest at Armadillocon, including Armadillocon 14, where Fred Duarte was co-con chair and Gardner was Editor Guest of Honor, making this an associational copy. Some great stories in here, including the award-winning "Morning Child" and "The Peacemaker," "Down Among the Dead Men," "Chains of the Sea," and "A Kingdom By The Sea." Highly recommended.

First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine, Mylar-protected dust jacket. Got all sorts of huge buzz when it came out. "A sinister cabal seeks to rule the world through sex and dreams." Looks like slipstreamy steampunk.

Bantam, 2006. Hardback. Fine/Fine. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Got all sorts of huge buzz when it came out. "A sinister cabal seeks to rule the world through sex and dreams." Well, who DOESN'T want to rule the world through sex? Though admittedly, John Holmes' brief stint as Secretary General of the UN didn't work out too well...

Trade paperback original first edition, Fine-, with the usual darkening of
the white spine and back cover. A very nice copy of Jeter's masterpiece,
and perhaps the most structurally ambitious SF novel ever published.
Highly recommended.

First hardback edition, first printing, one of 250 signed, numbered copies, a Fine copy in decorated boards, supposedly a second state "10th Anniversary Edition" binding sans dust jacket, as issue, with a CD of Harlan reading "Welcome to the Gulag," the introduction written for this edition laid in. All Ellison's TV essays and reviews written for The Los Angeles Free Press. Not having a copy of the original binding, I can't tell you how this 10th Anniversary edition binding differs from that. Now substantially more affordable than the originally announced price (which was $600). Only have one.
